3/4 of the Way Through the Year Awards

[Big Red Machine]

Worst Feud of the Year : Usos vs Wyatts
RU: Usos vs Gold and Stardust

Really? You thought that both of these were worse than Shaw vs. Anderson? Or Bella vs. Bella? Or Goldust & Stardust vs. Rybaxel? Or the various Beautiful People feuds? I get that you could find them repetitive, but at least things made sense, and we actually got good matches out of these Usos feuds,

RU: Emma vs Paige @ NXT ArRival

Over Nattie vs. Charlotte?

Over Nattie vs. Charlotte?

(1) yeah, Shaw/Anderson i liked, i really really like Shaw. Bella vs Bella, while the storyline is pretty stupid with some terrible acting, the feud itself was credible, escalated, had some big segments in the shows, and it elevated both chicks. Dusts/Rybaxel i wouldn't even consider it a feud, it was like a series of squashes to me, and i like Rybaxel, TBP can do no wrong.
But Uso matches are terrible, same shit different town, once you've seen 1, you've seen them all. it didn't elevate any of the teams because i still think they're all waste of time, it killed the wyatt momentum they had from their shield feud, and Dusts are a nightmare to watch. the last 4 tag champs have managed to bring the prestige (what was there anyway) of the tag titles lower than any other title in the company, and the worst thing is that there was actually a tag division at the start of the year!

truth is there are other feuds out there that were worse. Mojo vs Dempsey, Fandango vs Rose, Fandango vs Lay-Rae, Big Show vs Lesnar. but these two have been going on for soo long that it really bothers me

(2) not but much, but i still think emma/Paige was a bit better. I haven't watched it since it happened, but maybe even AJ vs Natty from main event could get in between these two. this just shows that i haven't watched much women's wrestling this year. i'm waiting for the Melissa vs Kana shimmer DVD and i'm sure i'll change my votes. apparently that match was amazing
